Ticino DOC Festival and Lucerne Festival 2019

Ending this week's celebration of Swiss summer music festivals with highlights from the 2019 festivals in Ticino and Lucerne. From the Ticino DOC Festival, Kevin Griffiths conducts the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana in a concert spotlighting three solo players of the lower-pitched string instruments: viola, cello and double bass.
